ARE MEASUREMENTS OF HIP EXTENSION AND ANTERIOR PELVIC TILT TAKEN FROM STATIC PHOTOGRAPGHS DURING A CONSTRAINED FORWARD LUNGE TEST VALID AND RELIABLE IN HEALTHY ADULT RUNNERS?
(2011-09-06)The aim of this study was to determine the concurrent validity, test-retest intra-rater reliability, and test-retest inter-rater reliability of photographic measures of anterior pelvic tilt range of motion (APT ROM) and ... -
CLOSED-LOOP SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION UNDER GREENNESS, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, CARBON EMISSIONS AND UNCERTAINTY CONSIDERATIONS
Organizations achieve economic and environmental benefits through CLSC activities. This thesis contributes to CLSC design through an extensive literature review focussing on: 1) robust and stochastic optimization, 2) ... -
Enhancing the Reliability of Functional MRI and Magnetoencephalography for Presurgical Mapping
Pre-surgical mapping has become a crucial tool in the preparation and planning for brain tumor resection since the development of widely available non-invasive imaging technologies like functional magnetic resonance ... -
EXAMINING SINGLE-SUBJECT RELIABILITY OF FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN ESTABLISHED MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
(2014-12-10)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease affecting the central nervous system. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has an invaluable role in the early diagnosis ... -
Intra-Session Reliability Metrics for Quality Assurance in Pre-Surgical Mapping with Magnetoencephalography
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) functional maps can localize brain activity for pre-surgical mapping, but their quality is difficult to quantify. Clinical standard metrics cannot be used when multiple sources of activity are ... -
Pilot Test for Reliability and Validity of a New Assessment Tool Measuring Relationships between Individual Health and Environmental Sustainability
(2014-04-30)This study surrounds the creation of a comprehensive assessment tool designed to measure the relationships between individual health and environmental sustainability. The existing literature surrounding health and ... -
Reliability of Principal Components and Discrete Parameters of Knee Angle and Moment Gait Waveforms in Individuals with Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2013)Gait measures are used to evaluate change in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), but reliability has not been fully established in this population. This study examined test-retest reliability of knee angle and moment ... -
Reliability of surface electromyographic recordings during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2013)To determine test–retest reliability of a surface electromyographic protocol designed to measure knee joint muscle activation during walking in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Twenty-one individuals with moderate ... -
Short and Slender Concrete Columns Internally or Externally Reinforced with Longitudinal Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
The goal of this thesis was to investigate the behavior of short and slender concrete columns internally and externally reinforced with longitudinal fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The study was divided into two ... -
What Do The People Say? A Thematic Analysis of Transit Related Comments from the Dalhousie University Annual Sustainability Commuter Surveys 2012-2015
(2016-04-25)Each year the Office of Sustainability conducts an Annual Sustainability and Transportation Survey, where between 1200-1700 staff, students, and faculty fill out the survey. Qualitative questions have been used in these ...
